<p>The deadline has passed for participants of Scott Kelby&#8217;s Worldwide Photowalk to make their submissions for the contest.  Its now in the various walk leader&#8217;s hands to choose a photo from their walk&#8217;s pool to be entered into the grand contest.  The winner of each walk receives a copy of Scott&#8217;s new book, The Digital Photography Book Volume III.  The grand prize winner will receive a package of around 18 items which includes  Nikon D700, a full version of Photoshop Create Suite, Lightroom 2, and much much more.  There are also going to be 10 honorable mentions with prizes for them as well.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s a lot of pressure to put on a walk leader. Being the wimp that I am I&#8217;m looking to you, my photography friends, to help me out.</p>
<p>Before I talk about the entries let me say thanks to everyone that submitted.  It was a real chore just to choose 8.   I&#8217;ve spent most of this evening trying to narrow down my list.  You can find all the entries I&#8217;ve been choosing from <a href="http://worldwidephotowalk.com/alexandria-va-usa/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>Below you will find my 8 favorite from our walk&#8217;s pool in no particular order.  Click on each to see the full size image.  Once you&#8217;ve chosen your favorite remember the entry number then let me know by <a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=CY3Cc_2fqQ7sq8STv0yt0yIQ_3d_3d" target="_blank">filling out this survey</a>.</p>
<p>Rules &#8211; This is a photography contest, not a popularity contest.  Please feel free to repost and share this link but please do not request people vote for yours or any one photo.  I would like the winner to be chosen on the merits of the photograph, not by how many Twitter friends they have.   Sorry if that sounds harsh.</p>
<p>The survey will only accept one vote per computer so choose your submission wisely.</p>
<p>Voting closes at noon EST on Friday, July 31st.  I&#8217;ll post the winner next weekend.</p>
<p>Thanks for helping me out!</p>
